Cuboid: a box-shaped object with 6 flat sides and all right angles; also called a rectangular prism.

Cuboid socks are beautiful pair of 2 color slip-stitch op-art socks. The technique used to create the fabric, slip-stitch knitting, is a wonderful way to produce beautiful colorwork patterns while still working with only one yarn at a time. The Cuboid Pattern purposefully varies the location of the slipped stitches in order to produce a combination of vertical, slanted and curved lines. This creates the “optical illusion” reminiscent of the Op-Art movement from the 1960’s.

Conic is one in a collection of 4 different op-art patterned socks based on geometric shapes each of which has a different border treatment.
